The Morning News

Posted by on August 17 at 9:24 AM

Washingtonians almost evenly split: 50% want to leave Iraq within 18 months, 50% when “Iraqis can keep the peace” or not at all.

Artists in Issaquah?: Apparently, they do exist.

34: On average, the most expensive year of your life.

Singapore: won’t let its residents chew gum, but will let American researchers come perform experiements with stem cells

Iraq: While July was the deadliest month for Iraqi civilians, bombs aimed at U.S. soldiers are increasing, too.

AIDS: Still awful, still killing children

More children killing news: For ten long years, tabloids have splashed the grisly murder of child beauty pagent winner Jon Benet Ramsey on their front pages. Well, now a former school teacher confessed to her murder. Her kidnapping and sexual assualt — “it was an accident”.

Snakes on a Plane! Midnight! Soon, the hype will end. Soon…

From the P-I: "Director Grace Crunican of the Seattle Transportation Department said the tunnel project itself would draw tourists."

It's good to know that the head of a major city department is a howling maroon. Remember the bus tunnel? Remember the tourists that flocked to see that? Neither do I.

34 is the most expensive year...particularly if you go back to grad school

2006-1996=10 years of tabloid exploitation of the Ramsey murder, unless they had 3 years of premonition.

Experiementation?

^^^shhh, you'll unravel the conspiracy!

Dewsterling,

oh drat, you're right. I thought it was in 1993.

changed!

Iraq: Let's split the difference and leave Iraq in 18 DAYS. I can live with that.

um, SoaP is actually at 10pm and 12:45.

Josh is giving you the business, rookie!

I can't believe Winona Ryder and Ben Affleck are only 4 years older than me! I'm 30, but I look a half a decade or more younger and was pursued by the cutest 23 year old this weekend. I didn't take the bait because I don't date below a certain age (call me close minded), but we're going to be friends and he'll be wishing me a Happy 31st really soon.
